MOOC Providers

moocA lot of people now think the only providers of MOOCs are Cours­era, EdX or Udac­ity, but there are many other providers of these sometime Massive, sometimes Open online courses.

I would consider some of the providers below to not be offering MOOCs by a strict definition. Some only offer open course materials. An example are the courses offered through Apple iTunes U. Massachusetts Institute of Technology in iTunes offers dozens of free online courses, mostly in science and technology. But their iTunes U site only gives you access to downloadable lectures and materials - not a course experience with a teacher and interaction/discussion. You can also download MIT course materials directly from the MIT open courseware website if you want to have a go at the materials "on-your-own."

Most MOOCs from universities offered prior to 2012 were available from the university's own website, but in the past year, more universities are using platforms such as Coursera to host and handle registration.
